Trojans?
 
i seem to have acquired a trojan somehow, how do i get rid of it? i have AVG and AVAST running so i cant understand how i got it

anyone know how to get rid of it? it only seems to be affecting my emails, doesnt affect anything else i do on the web, i cant open emails and when i attempt to it brings up lots and lots of other pages (blank ones)

any help would be grateful :)

If you know you ahve a trojan then presumably you know the name of it... if you do then do a search on Symantec - AntiVirus, Anti-Spyware, Endpoint Security, Backup, Storage Solutions and they usualy have removal tools .. or google it

If you google 'trojan horse agent BAGI' do NOT download any of the software that says it is a free removal tool.. there just more trojans and all manner of naughty stuff you dont want.. Only use a site you can trust.

I have just had loads of different Trojans which naffed up my computer, this has been fixed now and I had AVG so thinking of going for a better anti virus now

I have had I think 2 virus problems in 18 years online.. I have always used Norton since I crossed over to PCs and it dont matter to me how many people knock Norton.. It finds virus and trojans etc..

It helps that i have never used microsoft for emails and only accept text emails in the software i do use.. 99% of hackers target microsoft .

I always used to use Norton but found it very hungry on resources last I tried it a couple of years ago.

Avast Home Edition at the moment, click the free software link and you can download it free. You have to register it though which is straight forward.
